Adam Lambert 'reflects on Boyle comment'

Adam Lambert has reportedly admitted that his recent comments about Susan Boyle came across "a bit harsher" than he intended.

The 'Whataya Want From Me' singer had been quoted as branding Boyle's first record "terrible" and claiming that he laughed when he heard her single 'Wild Horses'.

"It came across a bit harsher than how it actually went down. But I'm not a fan of the record, it wasn't a lie," he is quoted as telling The Herald Sun.

The former American Idol star, who is currently promoting debut album For Your Entertainment in Australia, also suggested that there is a "misconception" about the way the Fox competition works.

"[People think] you come off the show and all of a sudden you are put in this machine and puppeted into this product," he said. "That's not my experience at all.

"I'm a pretty outspoken, upfront, forward type of person, and I have opinions about what I want to be as an artist. I told them I want to be glam, be pop, be rock, I want to be everything, blend it all together and have a great time doing it. Be theatrical and be out there."
